notes
synopsis
Reader of the questions: n/a; questions are being read by Osho himself.
Question 1 from Jagdit Singh
Osho, I am a judge. Have I any chance of ever entering nirvana? If you answer is no, then I can change my profession; I can become a doctor. I am also trained as a homeopath.
Question 2 from Bernd Schweiger
Osho, you are teaching us to believe in nothing. But why should I try to drop my ego without believing that life is better without an ego? Before I drop my ego I cannot know how life is without an ego. Therefore I have to believe that life is better without an ego before I try to drop the ego. But I can't believe it, because I suppose that life without an ego is life without a will of my own. The idea of giving up my own will is horrible to me. I cannot imagine that anybody would do this of his own free will, because my ego is all I have.
Osho, please talk to us about this.
Question 3 from Prem Elli
Osho, I am going back to the West. Please tell me a few jokes about therapists.
Question 4 from Prem Rajendra
Osho, first a joke:
Two madmen went into a pub and while looking around for a place to sit they saw themselves in a big mirror on the opposite wall. One madman said to the other, "Hey, look at those two guys over there. They look so familiar to me. Let's go over and say hello to them."
As they start moving, however, the other madman says, "Never mind, they are already coming to see us!"
This joke says a lot about how I have been feeling since I started work two months ago. The closer I come to you, the closer I come to myself, and vice versa. Yet when I feel close to you sometimes great fear arises. Could I be too much afraid of love?
Please comment.
Question 5 from Prem Prabhati
Osho, a master surrendering to the birds!
Thanks for the lesson.
